  1. 6. Understanding attention selection in driving: From limited capacity to adaptive behaviour

    Författare :Johan A Skifs Engström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; driver distraction; expectancy; working memory load; adaptive driver behaviour; accident analysis; driving performance; Attention;

    Sammanfattning : Accident analysis studies have consistently identified attention-related failures as key factors behind road crashes. However, less is known about how such failures lead to accidents. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Demanding Values : Participation, empowerment, and NGOs in Bangladesh

    Författare :Malin Arvidson; Sociologi; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sociology; organisational control; altruism; staff motivation; organisational values; Bangladesh; NGOs; participation; empowerment; Sociologi;

    Sammanfattning : The concepts participation and empowerment are frequently used in development projects in the third world. The meaning given to the concepts today signal a normative orientation, marking an alternative, people-centred approach to development. When used in development projects, the concepts demand detailed descriptions. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Structural assessment procedures for existing concrete bridges : Experiences from failure tests of the Kiruna Bridge

    Författare :Niklas Bagge; Björn Täljsten; Paulo Cruz; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anchorage; carbon fibre reinforced polymers; concrete; existing bridges; finite element analysis; flexure; full-scale test; load-carrying capacity; residual prestress force; punching; safety verification; shear; structural assessment; structural behaviour; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Assessing existing bridges is an important task in the sustainable management ofinfrastructure. In practice, structural bridge assessments are usually conducted usingtraditional and standardised methods, despite knowledge that these methods oftenprovide conservative estimates. LÄS MER

  5. 9. The behaviour of antiwear additives in lubricated rolling-sliding contacts

    Författare :Aldara Naveira Suarez; Nicholas D. Spencer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maskinelement; Machine Elements;

    Sammanfattning : Traditionally rolling contact fatigue observed in bearing field applications was subsurface initiated. However, despite an improvement in the properties of steel, some factors such as downsizing in bearing design, extreme loading of bearings as well as demanding application conditions (start-stop cycles) have led to an increase in cases of surface damage related to surface initiated fatigue, which essentially comes from surface distress.

  7. 10. Effects of glare on binocular vision and reading behaviour performing computer work

    Författare :Susanne Glimne; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Workplace luminance;

    Sammanfattning : We spend more and more time working with computers. When we do so our central visual field lacks three-dimensional (3D) features and this leads to reduced binocular control and may result in eye-related symptoms. LÄS MER
